The TelerraDh Plant.

The sensitiveness to touch of the we'll
known sensitive plant (iNimosa p"dica)
and dionea is singular enough, but the
movements of the leaves of Desmoaium
gy,uns seem still more curious, and up to
the present have baffled our best observ-
crs. The movement may be observed on
q light, warm day, when the plant is
standing in temperature of about eighty
degrees. The two small lateral leaflets
may then be observed to move upward
and downward; first the one and then the
other, now resting moment, then start
ing again with jerk. The movement is
quite spontaneous, the plant not being
perceptibly sensitive to the touch. Truly
it is a vegetable wonder, and deserves a
place in every warm greenhouse on that
account. 1t is easily propagated either
by means of seeds or cuttings. 1t is a
rapid grower, and though it is not hand
some, still it is graceful plant. 1t grows
to a height of about two feet. Any light
soil will suit it, and the higher the tenn
perature in which it stands the more per-
ceptible are its movements. I do not
think it would thrive in winter in tenn
peraturc lower than fifty-fivc degrees. It
is native of India, and is member of
the pea family. Gardening Illustrated.

Pear Culture.

As We ascend the scale of perfection
in the production of the finer fruits, we
find the way beset with more formidable
difficulties.
When we fail to apply the necessary
safeguards against the prevalence OF pear
blight, pear slug, and other enemies, our
time and money expended are worse
than thrown away.
1t is a mistake to put out pear
orchard, unless We fully resolve to give 1t
the proper care and attention during
every stage of its existence.
Ii cannot be correctly inferred that be-
cause sour, worthless pears have stood IN
the corners Of the fences over century,
that the finer sorts can be successfully
grown with as little care.
have seen. during the past season,
thousands of bushels of pears sent to the
markets from Nineland, n. j., and among
them all there could scarcely be found
bushcl which was developed much above
cnc-ha!f their natural size, and equally as
deficient in color and maturity. Such
pear orchards cannot possibly pay, since
the fruit will bring but little more
than the expense of shipping.
The cause of all this is very
plain, as hasty glance at the orchards
showed that the trees were never trimmed,
and that the ground among the trees is
generally occupied by small fruits, while
the leaves of the trees were nearly de-
stroyed by the ravages of the pear slug.
If good, healthy trees are obtained
from the nursery, made up of the best
varieties suited to yonr particular locality,
and they are transplanted and treated ac-
cording to our directions in another
column of this paper, success will reward
your efforts by an abund dance of fine fruit
for family use and marke: purposes.
To avoid the blight, care should be
taken in the selection of ground. AS a
rule avoid low lands which contain
superabundance of rich vegetable mould,
as upon such lands too great growth is
induced, which results in the production
of blight. Avoid stimulating manures,
and apply potash and salt m the form of
German Kainit.
The ravages of the slug can be arrested
by the use Of lime thrown upon the trees
while the dew is On in the morning, or by
applying a solution of Paris Green or
London Purple with garden syringe
H0rficu!tgrist.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Cucumber seed is good for two years.
To bring best results work should be
done in season.
For garden purposes there is nothing
better than well-rotted stable manure.
Thorough preparation of the ground is
of vital Importance in raising good vege-
tables.
Glover hay, one of the best Of foods for
sheep, will greatly improve sheep that are
old and out of condition.
Experiments show that the native thick
skinned grapes are better winter keepers
than our improved varieties.
If swine are to be kept on the farm the
best profits will be found in the finest
breeds that run into matured meat the
first year.
Do not put horses to work too suddenly
and steadily in the spring. See that the
harness is in good trim and does not
chafe or rub.
1t has been suggested that farm horses
be sold by weight, in addition to other
qualities, 50 as to induce farmers TO raise
larger aid better horses.
According to an experienced breeder
of Holsteins, these cattle combine beef
and dairy qualities in greater degree OF
excellence than any other breed.
Frost often crumbles the tile at the
outlet Of drain, but by digging in the
distance of one tile it will generally be
found that the drain is not much injured.
Seeds Of evergreen trees may be sown
as early in spring as the ground can be
worked. Sow 1hinly in beds of fine, sandy
loan raised about four inches above the
general surface.
Look out for Old seeds and plants un.

they are knowingly introduced in that
way. but it is well TO keep the eyes open
as Il matter of policy.

Recognizing q Portrait Unexpectedly.

A little fve-year-old boy from Phila-
delphia, now on visit to his grandfather
in Baltimore, has been greatly admired
for his sweet, intelligent countenance,
shaded by profusion of light curly hair.
Not long since photographer in Phlla-
delphia succeeded in catching by the in
stantancous process perfect likeness OF
his features. lit upby a laugh, and was so
pleased with it that large picture was
made and retained rs an ornament to his
gallery. One of the men employed in
the gallery was induced to sell one of the
smaller pictures to the manager of a cot
ton-mill, and five thousand copies were
made to be used as sort Of trademark
to the shirting muslin manufactured in
the mill. The father of the boy being
connected with large firm in the dry
goods trade, was one day altonished at
seeing the portrait of his laughing pet
pasted on piece of muslin he was ex-
amining. He began an investigation,
and soon discovered how the picture had
been obtained. He notified the mill
owner, and in consequence of his
rcmonstrance the pictures not already
used were surrendered and Destroyed

1t is q common notion that salt pre-

The Culture OF VetchHS.

To raise seed, it must be Sown in April
Just as soon as the frost is out Of the soil,
the vctches being able to stand rough
weather, similar to peas. 1t is preferable
to SOW vctcheS mixed with oats. If sown
alone they arc liable to be blighted by
mildcw. Upon the sandy fields of Ger
many vetchcS are mostly cultivated mixed
with oats and Polish lcntils. The straw
of the vetchcs is as valuable fodder as
meadow-hay, and the kernels are not in
ferior to any grain, especially for horses
and sheep. If seed is wanted, sowing in
drills may be recommended, otherwise
broadcast sowing is preferable. There
are many other varieties of vetches,
prominent among which are the vetch-
lentils, winter vetchcs, pea vetches, and
French fodder vrtchcs; but these require
good, loamy and moist soil. In the TO
tation of crops, vctchcs take the place of
peas, offering, however, more advantages
than the latter, because they can be sown

Indian Cremation in Alaska.

Having had information the other day
of a cremation to take place at the Indian
village, I went to the beach to witness it.
The defunct siwash was known around
Juneau as Frank, and was formerly en-
ployed at Martin Brothers store in the
capacity OF Indian clerk, and the klock-
man lit being q double cremation of one
of each scx) had been called Jennie !;
both, as it happened, having died Of con-
sumption. The mourning service con-
sisted of the ancient ceremony known as
''potlatch," which is always customary
among the Indians of southeastern Alaska
on the occasion of a death of one of their
number. The potlatch is division Of
whatever temporal goods the deceased
may have possessed, such as blankets, dry
goods, etc., among his or her relations,
case may justify.
In the services of the morning, which
are very long, and to the Indian mind
impressive; the first in the order of the
day is q eulogistic discourse by one of the
old men, which, being delivered by him
in sections, SO to speak, is taken up and
sung by the rest in monotonous sort of
chant; the old man is then superseded by
another venerable buck, who goes through
the same service, and he in turn by an
other, until all the old men have had their
individual say. The chantcrs keep time
by humping the floor with sticks and
beating on drum. This performance
being gone over for day or two, the
potlatch takes place.
The body of the deceased is first
wrapped in mating, woven from split
roots, and in appearance resembling
coarse straw. They then convey the body
to the place of cremation, which is al
ways on the beach at high-water mark
On this occasion they had on hand fo,
The purpose of burning the two bodies,
about one cord of wood, some split and
some in small logs. First platform OF
small logs is laid a foot from the ground,
and space of four inches between each
log. On this pyre, which was about seven
feet long by live feet wide, the two bodies
were placed, about three feet apart, and
around them a miniature log hlN was
built TO height Of four feet; the en-
closed space is then carefully filled in
with split wood and fine kindling, and
now, everything being in readiness, the
fire is lighted from the bottom. The na.
tive diet being chiefly salmon, an oily
substance, the bodies Of the Indians
seem to contain a considerable amount of
oil, as they burn very readily. While
the corpscs were clarring, the friends OF
tn. deceased continued 10 poke them

fragment of burnt flesh from the fire and
